Jackie DeShannon
"Jack Nitzsche was actually a fan of my work. He wanted to come to some of my sessions. His wife was singing background for me on some demos and I met him there. We became instant friends, very, very close friends for all these years, and when I was looking to get something going I wanted him to write a song for me ... he and Sonny Bono.
We were all hanging out and so they wrote “Needles and Pins” for me and the record company did not want me to do it and I said, “If you don’t do it then I’m not recording!”
It was so much fun. We used to drop in on each other’s sessions. I remember Brian Wilson skateboarding through one of my sessions. We all just used to drop by. We thought nothing about dropping by a Rolling stones session or Beach Boys … whoever was recording. If it was a fellow artist, it was cool.
Unfortunately we lost Jack Nitzsche recently. That was pretty hard and I was devastated at the loss of my dear friend ..."
